Low-Priced Large-Cap Stocks Under $10

Some people just like cheap stocks. For those people, penny stocks are often the trading vehicle of choice. (Check out the most recent edition of our Top Penny Stocks to Watch series.) But sometimes, investors who want to invest in cheap stocks also want their stocks to be more stable and liquid than the typical penny stock. This is where large capitalization (or large cap) stocks come in play. These are stocks that have $10 billion or more in market value, or capitalization. Here, we provide you with our Low-Priced Large-Cap Stocks Under $10, as of late January 2019.

Current Low-Priced Large-Cap Stocks

There are usually relatively few large-cap stocks that trade under $10 per share. As of late January 2019, there are only four U.S.-based stocks that fill the criteria. Here they are (along with their current prices and 1-year performance figures as of the market close on 1/25/2019):

Clearly, there’s a wide range in terms of recent 1-year performance among these low-priced stocks. To the downside, General Electric had a notoriously rough 2018, as did Ford Motor Company. Sirius XM Holdings was on the rise until mid-year 2018 before spending the rest of the year falling. Finally, Sprint had a choppy year last year, but has ended up with double-digit one-year performance.

This is in no way an endorsement of these low-priced large-caps. But they may present a better alternative to thinly-traded penny stocks for those traders and investors looking for cheap stocks to buy. As always, research, trade, and invest wisely.
